​Have you ever witnessed an event so devastating that it shocked the very core of your personality? Or perhaps you’ve heard about the struggles of those who’ve been through trauma. Despite getting past a traumatic event, some people never really manage to recover completely. Fortunately, there is a way to overcome trauma and find happiness once again - post-traumatic growth.

In recent years, the concept of ‘post-traumatic growth’ has gained massive popularity among researchers and mental health professionals.

Being lonely means feeling isolated and apart from people around you. Even those with many “friends” are subject to loneliness if they feel the value of those connections is superficial.

However, some people have chronic loneliness. They feel alone, and don’t know how to stop the feelings. It seems impossible to shake the feeling of being lonely.
